# DIY Studded Headbands The 'BLEACH BLACK' Crown is Easy to Make and Provides Rocker-Chic Style By Sarah Nazim | Published 2012-08-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bleach-black-crown References: [bleachblack](http://www.bleachblack.com/?p=16882) & [phosphorwatches](http://www.phosphorwatches.com) The 'BLEACH BLACK' crown is a fun and easy do-it-yourself project that is sure to give any outfit a [rocker-chic look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikimoto-x-chrome-hearts). High-fashion accessories and clothing can often be very pricey, hence, there are cheaper and effective methods that can be used instead to achieve the same look. This piece was inspired by a photograph of Eugenie Niarchos who was spotted in Givenchy attire. To replicate the look, all that is needed is a [strip of leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plik-1), screw-in cone spikes and a crop-a-dile hole punch. Simply measure the leather to the desired length, punch the holes and insert the spikes. This project from the 'BLEACH BLACK' blog is a great way to make [beautiful accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdive) accessible to girls on every kind of budget. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **DIY Accessories:** Opportunity to tap into the growing trend of consumers making their own accessories. - **Rocker-chic Style:** Disruptive innovation potential exists in creating affordable and easy DIY projects that allow people to achieve a rocker-chic aesthetic. - **Affordable Fashion Alternatives:** There is a market for providing cost-effective methods to achieve high-fashion looks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore targeted DIY accessory kits and tutorials to tap into the DIY trend. - **Craft and Hobby:** Craft and hobby industry can provide materials and tools specifically designed for DIY accessory projects. - **Online Retail:** Online retailers can curate and sell DIY accessory kits to cater to budget-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Statement Accessory Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot.md) - [Gen Z-Inspired Hair Gems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-z-collection.md) - [Studded Belt-Made Dynamic Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit.md) - [Glam Bracelet-Making Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-couture-bracelet-kit.md) - [Luxury Hair Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t3-x-lelet-ny.md) - [Hair Gem Stylers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-pen.md) - [Punk Rock-Themed Hardware Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foam-clogs-1.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md)
